I inherited a quilt dating to 1920 that has the
following Chickasha, Oklahoma names embroidered in squares by each of the
ladies. I can identify two of the quilt signers (Florence and Mollie), and my
friend, Sandi Carter, was able to identify Hattie Nunn, who later became
Hattie Moncrief.
Cora Eppler, 1920
Onilla Foster Georgia Gautier, 1920 Florence Hayes Mollie Hayes Rhoda Hinds, 1920 Knowles, 1920 Bertha McRae, 1920 Hattie Moncrief, 1920 Edna Norton, 1920 Harrie Norwood, 1920 Cora Parnell, 1924 Mattie Powell, 1920 Bertha Smith, 1920 Mary Smith, 1920 Mrs MM Thames, 1921 Nora Ward Nancy Livesay, 1920 Nellie Coryell (signature was not stitched, is faint, this is my best guess)
Also attached is a photo is a ladies group. I
can identify two of the ladies. The ladies on the right in the seated row are
Phoebe Elizabeth Morgan (Florence's mother) from Knoxville, Tennessee,
and Florence (Harris) Hayes of Chickasha. Although Phoebe (Morgan) Harris
appears in the photo, she is not one of the quilt signers. I don't know
if the quilt and the photo have any relation to each other. I have been
unable to identify any of the other women in the photo, and Sandi thought
you might post it on the Shoebox web site.
